How dumb was that.

[Padge]

How utterly stupid is Drinkwater.

[Old Frightful]

Not very bright from Drinkwater, surprised Saints are going for the two, Wire under massive pressure there.

[Johnny Ringo]

Stupid tip when he was already tackled

[bratman]

Warrington pretty poor, Saints making hard work of it

[hindle xiii]

Clever from Wellsby to lift his standing leg, seen that before in a game against Hull FC.

[sentoffagain2]

    Drinkwater in running for IDIOT OF THE YEAR.

[Harry Stottle]

So once again a contentious refereing decision is counting on the scoreboard.

Almost a carbon copy of their last meeting. Warrington won the second half in that one so the Saints need that early try again to settle the the game down and put real pressure back on the wolves. Errors on both sides are fairly high. 

[graveyard johnny]

ch4 miles better than sky though

[Just Browny]

Frustrating. Think we delivered the gameplan, hung in there early on and weathered the storm. A try off a nothing penalty and a stupid penalty have cost us, but think we are in the armwrestle.

If your TV screen broke and you could only hear Amor's punditry, you'd assume Saints were 40 points up.

It’s been the case forever and a day in such a close game. And let’s not forget  there are much fewer penalties these days with set restarts etc

Enjoying the game so far. Looks decidedly cold and damp compared to the 28 degrees here in Mallorca

So once again the thread is just talking about refereeing decisions rather than the players or plays.

Looks that way. Strange thing is, no one but a hardy few on here seemed to think it was a wrong decision.

Only because it was an obvious forward  from Bell to Sironen.

[Old Frightful]

Lucky bleeder Wrench, if he'd have been tackled he'd have looked a right monkey.

[Nothus]

Amazing tackle attempt by Welsby there

[bratman]

Great try, game on!

[Harry Stottle]

Should he have passed, we will know if the goal is missed.
